Summersoff, I believe the plant you have in the first photo is Chamaedorea elegans, also known as Parlor Palm. As to if it will grow into a larger palm from it's current size, I cannot say (I do not know that much about this particular plant, but at least a name will help you if you want to research it online). As to the second photo, I saw one of these just the other day, I don't remember what it stated the species was, but it is a species of Dracaena, I think it might be Dracaena sanderiana, which is also known as Lucky Bamboo. Lucky Bamboo as you mentioned, is also a species of Dracaena, not bamboo as some people think. It looks to me that the stems present on this plant are stems of the plant itself, but its top growth (leaves) has been stunted (by growing the plant so its stems become a certain thickness and then chopping off the top section of growth, causing new "shoots" to form at the tops, creating the foliage you see). To me, it looks like a really thick version of Lucky Bamboo, which makes me think it might be Dracaena sanderiana. It is similar to your Corn Plant, which is also a species of Dracaena (usually Dracaena fragrans). However, your Corn plant is not growing on its original stem (see below). Just some information on your Corn plant in case you didn't know but were interested: It is a piece of cane rooted in the soil (the foliage on top of the corn plant is the Dracaena fragrans) with some Dracaena "grafted" or "air layered"-- I don't know exactly how they do it-- into the cane which creates what you see and know as a Corn Plant. I hope this information has been helpful. Planto

The KBG probably won't choke out the fescue, but it will fill in bare spots. However, KBG spreads via rhizomes rather than stolons. Rhizomes should be below ground. You may want to take some of the weedy grass (including some roots) to your extension service to your extension service to get an accurate ID. I've seen blades of grass from the same plant get identified as two different grasses from pictures. It can be very difficult to ID grass from pictures. Many grass seed mixes have fescue and KBG in them. I think some types of fescue may mix better with KBG, but K31 grows much faster and has much wider blades, so I think a mixture of KBG and K31 fescue tends to look somewhat patchy. Where in WA are you? You may be better off seeding in the fall. It may not matter as much if you're in the Seattle area, since it rains so often there, but if you're inland where it gets hot and dry in the summer, a fall seeding will give the grass more time to establish before the hot dry weather hits.

If it is senna alata, let it grow. The flowers on this are incredible. Think though that it needs a longer growing season - i.e., starting seed well before last frost date to flower. A common name is candlestick plant or something close to that.

Which makes both of them as herbs. The second picture is of a two year old French sorrel sending up a seed head. If you do not want the sorrel all over put the seedhead in a plastic bag and carefully cut the seed head off.
